Trump Is Trying to Pull the UK into War | Michael Martins

Mar 17, 2026 | “I think [Trump's] going to want to save face in this, and I think that's where the landing zone is.”

The UK now has an opportunity to de-escalate tensions with the US by “finding the avenue” to abate Trump’s rhetoric toward Starmer, says former political and economic specialist at the US Embassy in the UK during Trump's first term, Michael Martins.



I am no Starmer fan, but Starmer is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT not to allow Britain to be dragged into this war by Goldilocks. Goldilocks should do his own DIRTY WORK. He got America into this war, so let him get America out of it. — © Mark Alexander
